Does HDFView recognize External Links?

HDFView / Java HDF Object Package
1

When using HDFView, I am unable to see external links.

Using H5Lcreate_external from
http://www.hdfgroup.org/HDF5/doc/RM/RM_H5L.html#Link-CreateExternal

And h5dump show the external link for "test1.h5":

HDF5 "d:/data/test1.h5" {
GROUP "/" {
   GROUP "G1" {
   }
   EXTERNAL_LINK "L1" {
      TARGETFILE "D:/data/Test2.h5"
      TARGETPATH "/G2"
         GROUP "/G2" {
            DATASET "D2" {
               DATATYPE H5T_STD_I32LE
               DATASPACE SIMPLE { ( 1, 1 ) / ( 1, 1 ) }
               DATA {
               (0,0): 0
               }
            }
            GROUP "G22" {
            }
         }
   }
}
}

External links are not supported in HDFView 2.6. It will be included in HDFView 2.7.

It is in the 2.7 snapshot. Feel free to try it

Thanks
